Specifying the Source Interface for Establishing TCP Connections
Follow these steps to specify the source interface for establishing TCP connections to a BGP peer or
peer group:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter BGP view bgp as-number —
Enter IPv6 address family view ipv6-family —
Specify the source interface for
establishing TCP connections to
an IPv6 BGP peer or peer group
peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address } connect-interface
interface-type interface-number
Required
By default, IPv6 BGP uses the
outbound interface of the best
route to the IPv6 BGP peer or peer
group as the source interface for
establishing a TCP connection.
z To improve stability and reliability, you can specify a loopback interface as the source interface for
establishing TCP connections to a BGP peer. By doing so, a connection failure upon redundancy
availability will not affect TCP connection establishment.
z To establish a BGP connection, you need to specify on the local router the source interface for
establishing the TCP connection to the peer on the peering BGP router; otherwise, the local BGP
router may fail to establish TCP connection to the peer when using the outbound interface of the
best route as the source interface.
Allowing the Establishment of a Non-Direct eBGP connection
Follow these steps to allow the establishment of eBGP connection to a non-directly connected
peer/peer group:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter BGP view bgp as-number —
Enter IPv6 address family view ipv6-family —
Allow the establishment of eBGP connection to
a non directly connected peer/peer group
peer { ipv6-group-name |
ipv6-address } ebgp-max-hop
[ hop-count ]
Required
Not configured by
default.
